Dear kiwi7,

The term GRP refers to the material the boat's hull consists of. "GRP"
is the abbreviation for "Glass-Reinforced Plastic", a composite
material made of a plastic reinforced by fine fibers made of glass. It
is sometimes called "fiberglass". Because of its characteristics, GRP
is a material the hulls of boats are often made of.

If you want to keep your boat looking like new, try this wax... It's
the best I have found. Garry's Royal Satin is the name, it's easy to
work with.
